Arch expands Rajeh’s role as president following Gansberg departure
Arch Capital Group has expanded the responsibilities of president Maamoun Rajeh (pictured), placing the company’s insurance, reinsurance and mortgage operations under a single leader following the departure of president David Gansberg.
The company said Rajeh, who most recently oversaw Arch’s reinsurance and mortgage segments, will now also assume responsibility for the insurance segment. He will continue to report to chief executive officer Nicolas Papadopoulo.
The leadership change follows the departure of David Gansberg, who is stepping down from his role as president and leaving the company after what Arch described as a distinguished tenure.
Rajeh has been with Arch since 2001 and has led the development of Arch Re into a global reinsurance provider. He also took responsibility for the mortgage business in 2024.
Papadopoulo said: “Maamoun has been integral to Arch’s success since 2001 and brings a deep understanding of the Property and Casualty business. Under Maamoun, Arch Re has become a leading global reinsurance provider and, since assuming responsibility for the Mortgage group in 2024, he has demonstrated the curiosity and accountability that make him the right leader to guide our three business segments. His expanded role reflects our focus on clarity, accountability and alignment across our global underwriting operations. I look forward to continuing to work with him in the coming years.”
Papadopoulo added: “I also want to recognise the significant contributions David made to Arch’s success during his tenure. I wish him continued success in the future.”
Rajeh said: “I’m grateful for this opportunity to take on this expanded role and to continue to work closely with Nicolas, the rest of Arch’s leadership team and our Board of Directors. With our global platform, world-class talent and data-driven underwriting culture, Arch remains well-positioned for continued success. I’m energised and focused on enhancing our Insurance segment’s leadership position in the markets where we operate.”
